Description

Marquette is the epicenter for climbing in Michigan. The area offers over 100 routes and hundreds of boulder problems. There are a few areas containing most of the routes, but there are also many smaller crags with 2 or 3 worthy routes hidden in the woods. Most routes are under fifty feet with easy top rope set ups but there are both sport and trad lines that will challenge hardened climbers from anywhere. Though the area is not a climbing destination by its self the area is beautiful and has many reasons to visit, it just so happens that you can get some amazing routes in while here.

Mystery Jam is the obvious line at Isabella. Start on the face to a cruxy throw. Work your way up to the beautiful crack. Continue up past a few committing jug moves to easier ground. The top is marked by a fixed nut and pin. ...[more]Browse More Classics in MI

So after years and years of climbing history in Marquette, it's time for a guidebook. I'll be working with many local climbers to compile all knowledge of the local crags, beta, and ethics. If you have any information that you would like to share, or concerns about climbing in the area please contact me so we can be sure to put together a great resource.

for anyone wanting to climb in the marquette area there is a guidebook for sale that can be found at downwind sports. there are lots of good routes that are not listed here and the book is a good resource for anyone wanting to know about the local ethics.

I am looking for partners to go to Marquette and other locations(Jackson Falls, DL, The Red, Marquette, etc) with.

I have an Airplane and can fly us there. Please send me a PM if you want more details and the cost of sharing the flight expenses. Hope to meet a few of you soon. I can fit up to 4 climbers with me in the Cherokee 6(with room for gear). :)
